A catalog you can
check for yourself.
This walkthrough uses an actual public Steel Industries May 2025 catalog, not invented product data. It is a historical extraction example, not a customer testimonial, partnership or current price quotation.
Watch the 48-second walkthrough
Four actual browser captures, held for readability. This is an edited walkthrough, not a continuous recording or processing-speed benchmark. The steps and output below form its text transcript.
Reproduce it
- Download the original PDF from the source link above. We do not host or redistribute the full catalog.
- Open the free browser tool and choose that file. Set Pages to 13 (the document prints this as page 11).
- Choose the dot decimal separator. Leave currency unspecified: the catalog's Kina currency is not supported as a declared currency in this version.
- Expand Explicit columns and paste the layout below. Select Extract file.
- Review the 39 lines and download CSV or JSON. Confirm values against the source; do not treat a header or footnote as a product.

A few fields to compare
These are extracted historical values from three source lines. They are not unit-converted or approved purchase prices.
| Source reference | Normalized price field | Currency | Review required |
|---|---|---|---|
| A5169 | 93.80 | Unknown / null | Yes |
| A5344 | 120.61 | Unknown / null | Yes |
| A0001 | 170.18 | Unknown / null | Yes |
Why retain the warnings?
The page title also appears as an extracted line. Its text crosses the configured columns, so it is flagged instead of silently becoming an approved catalog item. This illustrates why source coordinates and review matter; it does not demonstrate perfect semantic extraction.
